Chapter 161 The Perfect Assassin
Chapter 161 The Perfect Assassin
The border of Xuanwu Kingdom.
"Alright, that's all for now. You can go on your own after this."
The middle-aged man piloting the flying sword pointed to the city ahead, "The Qingyun Kingdom disappeared many years ago. Now only some ruins remain. There's no direct route there. Just ask anyone you know where it is."
"Oh, okay, thanks."
"Miss Mei, wait for me!"
The two men and two chickens disembarked from their flying swords and headed into the city to inquire about directions.
Have you ever heard of the Qingyun Kingdom?
"Excuse me, have you seen this person before?"
Mei Hua Thirteen specially found a portrait of Qing Feng. Although Qin Ming had given them a clue, they didn't know exactly where Qing Feng was.
The two asked around the whole way, but couldn't find a single clue.
Upon seeing this, Chicken Da Bao immediately stopped a passerby.
"Well?!"
The passerby looked unfriendly.
However, his attitude changed completely the next moment.
Chicken Da Bao pulled out a gold ingot and asked, "Brother, have you seen this person before?"
After accepting Ji Dabao's money, the man pointed in a direction and said, "I've seen him before. I saw him heading out of the city a few days ago. It looked like he was being chased over there, and the commotion was quite significant."
"What!?"
Mei Hua Thirteen was startled, and then ran directly in that direction.
"Miss Mei!"
Wu Liuqi hurriedly followed.
Chicken Da Bao simply had Xiao Fei fly him there, which left him speechless.
Before long, the two arrived at a suburban area, on a forest path. Mei Hua Thirteen stopped in front of a felled tree, seemingly recognizing the marks on it.
"Miss Mei?"
"This is Master's knife, it's right here."
Mei Shisan turned around to continue searching for clues, but Wu Liuqi grabbed her and pulled her aside, saying, "Watch out!"
Whoosh! Boom!
A terrifying figure, like a meteorite, plummeted down in an instant, the horrific impact triggering an explosion. The location was exactly where the two had just been standing!
Whoosh! Clang!
Wu Liuqi summoned his scissors, sparks flew, and he retreated repeatedly.
Mei Hua Thirteen looked at the blade that suddenly appeared in front of her, one hand on the hilt, but she did not draw it.
Noisy!
So fast!
Wu Liuqi blocked the attack with his scissors and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Are you also a Shadow Assassin?"
The newcomer had white hair and red eyes that stared at Wu Liuqi. He grinned maliciously and said, "You don't remember me?"
"I've forgotten a lot of things, but your moves feel very familiar to me. You must be someone I've fought before."
laugh!
Just then, a bloody gash suddenly appeared on Wu Liuqi's shoulder!
"Science Six Seven!"
Mei Hua Thirteen was startled, and immediately drew her sword, wanting to help Wu Liuqi repel the opponent. However, a gust of wind came from the side at this moment!
boom!
Plum Blossom Thirteen was defeated.
"Don't waste time. His power hasn't diminished much. If he fully recovers, you won't be his match."
"Tsk!"
With a bloodshot look in his eyes, Jiu swung his sword and unleashed more than ten sword beams that instantly suppressed Wu Liuqi, causing bloodstains to appear on his body!
Boom boom boom!
"Ah Qi! Catch the knife!"
Chicken Da Bao and Xiao Fei arrived and immediately threw the Demon Blade Thousand Blades to him.
Wu Liuqi took the Demon Blade and began to fight Jiu. They unleashed their speed and were evenly matched!
Qilin Step vs. Qilin Step!
Clang! Clang!
Boom! !
The speed was so extreme that all that could be seen in their clash was the sparks from the collision of blades; their figures were completely obscured!
After several rounds, Wu Liuqi clashed with his opponent, and the demonic blade shattered into pieces, instantly tearing a gash in the opponent's chest.
A wisp of energy was also directly absorbed by the demonic blade.
Jiu's expression went blank for a moment, then her face turned completely crazed.
"Die to me!!"
It's happening again! It's always like this!
Jiu's offensive suddenly spiraled out of control. What was already a dangerous offensive had now turned into a battle of attrition, or even a fight to the death!
Wu Liuqi was also beaten into a sorry state and retreated step by step.
There was no other way; with the Demon Blade in his hand, he might not necessarily lose to his opponent.
But the other party was clearly risking their life to exchange injuries with him, and if he took the hit head-on, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Even if we win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.
The Demon Blade! The Demon Blade! We must get the Demon Blade!
As Jiu's obsession grew stronger, she suddenly struck the demonic sword near the hilt with a heavy blow. Wu Liuqi felt a tremendous force strike him, and the demonic sword almost slipped from his hand!
"?!"
laugh!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiu actually grabbed the blade of the Demon Blade with her bare hands and forced Wu Liuqi back with another slash.
The Demon Blade has changed hands!
Wu Liuqi immediately retreated a distance; facing a ruthless madman without his weapon was too dangerous.
Jiu planted her sword aside and raised the Demon Blade. "Let me show you how to use the Demon Blade."
"..."
Wu Liuqi's gaze turned serious, and he waved his hand to summon the scissors back.
……
Clang! Boom!
On the other side, Mei Hua Thirteen looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. Every punch seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She tried to fight back, but her knife was knocked away by his fist!
"I know you. You are ranked 38th on the assassin list. You are Plum Blossom Thirteen, the thirteenth daughter of the Plum Blossom Hero. You were originally a very promising candidate to become a Shadow Assassin."
Mei Shisan frowned slightly, glanced at Wu Liuqi in the distance, and said, "I'm sorry, I may have to leave the assassin organization."
"As expected, there are fewer and fewer potential assassins these days, which is why people like me are needed to train obedient killing tools and clear obstacles for the Xuanwu Kingdom."
Surprisingly, the middle-aged man did not continue to attack, but instead looked at Wu Liuqi as well. "He is someone I created myself. Although the leader is dissatisfied with him and thinks he is a failed creation, in my opinion he is the truly perfect creation."
He shook his head, and continued in a slightly weary voice, "Tools trained through killing can never become the strongest assassins; they are nothing more than out-of-control beasts. Unfortunately, the leader doesn't understand this at all."
"..."
I don't understand what he means, but Wu Liuqi's situation is not good at the moment.
With the Demon Blade in Jiu's hands, Wu Liuqi was forced to retreat steadily. He could only use his scissors to keep entangled with Jiu, not daring to get close rashly.
The Demon Blade Thousand Blades' attacks are no joke.
"Ah Qi!"
Just then, Chicken Da Bao gave a reminder.
Wu Liuqi glanced around and noticed that Ji Dabao had somehow found a mirror. He immediately realized what was going on and deliberately created an opening for Jiu to attack him.
boom!
The scissors blocked the attack, and at the same time, he dodged to the side, a beam of sunlight piercing into Jiu's eyes!
Jiu instinctively closed his eyes, and his speed also slowed down slightly.
"Now!"
Chicken Big held up a mirror and said loudly.
hum!
The sound of scissors tearing through the air was deafening!
puff!
Jiu had a bloody gash torn open on his chest and was injured, but Wu Liuqi did not take the demonic knife from his hand. Instead, he flashed behind Jiu, picked up his Dao knife, and stabbed it directly!
A sharp blade tore through the air and pierced...
